Researching exploits and reviewing PoC code on GitHub is a standard practice for cybersecurity education and penetration testing. However, unauthorized testing against systems you do not own or have explicit written permission to audit is illegal under computer misuse laws worldwide (such as the CFAA in the United States). Ensure all research is conducted in an isolated lab environment.
